I've been reading quite a few threads where folks they flew with so-and-so out of Fairbanks. Often times the referenced taxi doesn't appear to have a base of operations in Fairbanks. Are these taxis picking up customers in Fairbanks, taking to bush village and THEN to the field. Or... Are they taking folks straight to field from Fairbanks?
If it's the former and involves a DIFFERNT plane then I get it. If folks are being flown and dropped in those same areas, then it seems like getting dropped straight from Fairbanks would make more sense.
Obviously distance and bearing of second leg (in the case of plain change for drop), have a lot to do with it. I'd hate to fly out of Fairbanks a distance of 2x and wind up backtracking to hunt 1x. If that makes sense.
